My thoughts at about 50 years of age were that I need to get some exercise or else I'm gong to die soon.
So I started riding my bikes more often, farther and in a more serious way. Today at 67, I'm thinking I need to join a gym and get even more exercise. The resistance type exercise that a bicycle doesn't give. I've been saying that here for probably 3 - 5 years. But soon I hope to make it happen.
